Post Incredibly loud Squeaky Brakes after upgrade

All
I have a 1990 C4 Cab. I just recently upgraded by brakes to Cross-Drilled rotor for my rear brakes and Pigie(sp?) Brake pads. I ordered the Cross-Drilled rotors from AutoMotion.
The Problem - Incredibly loud squeaks when coming to a stop. I never thought I'd be embarrassed in my Porsche but this comes very close. Does anyone have any suggestions on a way to decrease the noise level of the sqeaks. Have driven about 200-300 miles like this, mainly sqeaks when under slow easy breaking, 15mph-0mph. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Doug

Did you: Properly break in and bed the pads? Chamfer the outer edges? Apply a thin layer of antisieze to backs of the pads? Are these Pagid pads? If so, a racing pad is most likely always noisey, especially if not broke in.

If its Pagid pads, they come in different compounds which are identified by color. The most common are
  • orange a race compound will squeek like crazy
  • blue a street compound will not squeek or squeel, that's why I use it
There are also yellow and black compounds available but I have no experience with them.
